Early life and education[edit]
Seth Andrew Klarman was born on May 21, 1957 in New York City.[6][2] When he was six he moved to the Mt. Washington area of Baltimore, Maryland near the Pimlico Race Track,[7] and grew up in a traditional Jewish family.[8][9][10] His father was a public health economist at Johns Hopkins University and his mother taught high school English.[11][12] His parents divorced shortly after their moving to Baltimore.[7]
When he was four years old he redecorated his room to match a retail store putting price tags on all of his belongings and gave an oral presentation to his fifth grade class about the logistics of buying a stock. As he grew older had a variety of small time business ventures including a paper route, a snow cone stand, a snow shoveling business, and sold stamp-coin collections on the weekends.[6] When he was 10 years old he purchased his first stock, one share of Johnson & Johnson (the stock splitthree-for-one and over time tripled his initial investment). At age 12 he was regularly calling his broker to get stock quotes, his reasoning behind buying a share of Johnson & Johnson was the fact that he has used a lot of band-aids (a product of the company) during his earlier years.[6]
Klarman attended Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, and was interested in majoring in mathematics but instead chose to pursue economics.[7] He graduated magna cum laude in economics with a minor in history in 1979.[13] In the summer of his junior year he interned at the Mutual Shares fund and was introduced to Max Heine and Michael Price. After graduating from college he went back to the company to work for 18 months before deciding to go to business school.[7] He went on to attend Harvard Business School where he was a Baker Scholar and was classmates with Jeffrey Immelt, Steve Burke, Stephen Mandel, James Long and Jamie Dimon.
